Anhingas are characteristic of freshwater habitats in the Southeast and are nowhere more common than in south Florida – yet their behavior and ecology are not well known. In this presentation I will focus on their nesting, chick development, some of their unusual, previously unknown behaviors, physical characteristics, and problems that they face.
